Description:
This routine obtains an
-dimensional
array of values from a parameter. If necessary, the values are converted to the required type.
Invocation
CALL PAR_GETNx( PARAM, NDIM, MAXD, VALUES, ACTD, STATUS )
Arguments
PARAM = CHARACTER
(
) (Given)
The parameter name.
NDIM = INTEGER (Given)
The number of dimensions of the values array.
This must match the number of dimensions of the parameter.
MAXD( NDIM ) = INTEGER (Given)
Array specifying the maximum dimensions of the array to be read. These may not be smaller than the
dimensions of the actual parameter nor greater than the dimensions of the VALUES array.
VALUES(
) = ?
(Returned)
The values obtained from the parameter. These are in Fortran order.
ACTD( NDIM ) =
INTEGER (Returned)
The actual dimensions of the array. Unused dimensions are set to 1.
STATUS
= INTEGER
The global status.
Notes:
-
There is a routine for each of the data types character, double precision, integer, logical, and real:
replace "x" in the routine name by C, D, I, K, L, or R respectively as appropriate. The VALUES
argument must have the corresponding data type.
-
Note that this routine will accept a scalar value, returning a single-element array with the specified
number of dimensions.
